Thank you for having Dr. Aggarwal on your show. She is one of the smartest people out there fighting for our health! I have her book and it is so good!❤❤❤
Love this doctor so much! I too have calmed down my RA symptoms through clean diet, yoga, good sleep and meditation. She speaks the truth!
Were you on meds too ?

great video, deserves more views. Arthritis sucks and I worry that something about my new (9 months) vegan diet is starting to aggrivate it. This has reminded me to cut the processed foods and eat more greens! Good advice for anyone.
Thank you for sharing!

Hi Yatish!
I would recommend working with your doctor to monitor your symptoms.
Dr. Aggarwal does have a book with Dr. Jyothi Rao called Body on Fire: www.drmonicaaggarwal.com/books/
Hope that helps!
How to get vitamin B12 with plant based diet plz reply and I sit safe to take vitamin b12 tablet or b12 supplement
Hi, my apologies for the delayed response. B12 is found in fortified foods (some plant milks, some meat analogs, some cereals, some nutritional yeast - check the label) and in supplements (B12 supplements or most multivitamins). Chewing the tablet or using sublingual has better absorption!
Absolutely. There are also vegan supplements. If your stomach is messed up though and you feel uncomfortable taking tablets, then get b12 injections.
Where is this doctor because we're suffering
Hey Doc, How can Arthist with out medicine? With food do have any remedy Plesse? Bhanu ( india)

Пожалуйста ,переводите на руссий язык
The anchor saying Vow for everything..It's not be vow
I disagree with the doctor. Diet makes a huge difference, and perhaps it was your previous diet that was a major caise of the expression of rhumatoid arthritis. Processed foods and dairy are toxic, perhaps more so to some people than others. But doctors are effectively trained to ignore the importance of diet.
Tell people how to treat it ... not too much about your life...
I appreciate most of the content. Her use of the term "raging diabetic" is particularly offensive. She could simply say a person with type 2 diabetes. Does anyone ever say raging rheumatoid arthritic? It is important also to note that while a WFPB diet may be helpful for health for almost everyone, a person with type 1 diabetes will still need to take insulin to survive.
Hi Ellen, thank you so much for this comment. I appreciate the feedback. I know she did not mean to offend anyone by that term but it's very important that you pointed that out. Thanks again.
Relax
